  The variable capability is being assigned a value that is never
read and is being re-assigned later. The assignment is redundant and
can be removed. Also remove empty line before assignment to capability.

Cleans up clang scan build warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/netxen/netxen_nic_init.c:1189:2: warning:
Value stored to 'capability' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]

This part looks correct :)

This part doesn't seem strictly related to the patch description.
But in looking at it more closely, I wonder if it would be good
to reduce the scope of capability to this context (and leave the bank
line).

In any case, I agree that this patch is correct, and I'm happy with
it with or without the change I suggested above.
